Keyboard Layout
Configure how Keyboard layout is configured. Specifically this means the number of strings and number of frets. "Preset" means that the keyboard layout is defined in the preset. "Device" means that they keyboard layout is based on the device, but may be modified for what is best for the device. "Global" allows you to set a global keyboard layout that applies to all presets.
In "Global" mode, the following additional controls are available:
Strings / Frets
Set the number of strings and frets on the keyboard.
Width / Pan
Width controls how much of the available screen width the keyboard occupies (10%-100%). Pan shifts the visible portion of the keyboard left or right within that range.
Diatonic
When enabled, the keyboard displays only the notes of the current scale (diatonic mode) rather than all chromatic notes.
1/4 Tone
When enabled, the keyboard layout includes quarter-tone keys between the standard semitones, doubling the number of keys per octave. This is useful for playing music based on a 24 note Equal Temperament (24ET) system<
Polkadot Keys
When enabled, keys are rendered with a polkadot pattern instead of a solid fill. The polkadot appearance can be fully customized via the Pattern editor.
Pattern (Polkadot Pattern Editor)
Opens a visual editor for customizing the polkadot key appearance. Controls include:
- Dot color / Key color / Stroke color / Shadow color — color swatches for each element
- Dots — number of dots per key (1–12)
- Dot size — radius of each dot relative to the key
- Min spacing — minimum distance between dots (percentage)
- Randomness — how randomly dots are placed (0 = uniform grid, 1 = fully random)
- Label clearance — keep-out zone around the note label (percentage)
- Border clearance — keep-out zone around the key edges (percentage)
- Key center circle size — size of the circle drawn at the key center
- Stroke width — outline thickness around each dot
- Shadow opacity / angle / distance / blur — drop shadow controls
Use "Restore Defaults" to reset the pattern. Patterns can also be exported and imported as JSON files.
Note Name Font
Note Name Font can be used to globally chose the font used to display note names throughout the system. The default are Western Note Names. Svara allows for the notes to be displayed in as Svara intervals from South Asian Music. A number of other East Asian fonts are supported.
Scale/Root
Configure the current Scale/Root/Temperament used for the keyboard. "Preset" means that the Scale/Root/Temperament is defined in the preset. "Global" allows you to set a global Scale/Root/Temperament that applies to all presets.
Tuning
Coarse Tune
Configure the Coarse Tuning (transpose) globally in semitones (+/- 12). This setting allows you to set a global Coarse Tuning that applies to all presets and overrides the preset Course Tuning.
Fine Tuning
Configure the Fine Tuning in cents (+/-100). This setting allows you to set a global Fine Tuning that applies to all presets and overrides the preset Fine tuning. A number of common concert pitches may be selected from a drop down. For instance A440, A432, A420, et al.
Audio
Select audio latency. Higher latency can minimize clicks. Enable Background Audio. This is on by default. Turning off background audio will improve battery life, but audio will not be processed when the GeoShred is in the background.
Enable/Disable 3D Touch [PRO][Studio][Control]
3D Touch allows control of note Velocity and Pressure on devices that support 3D Touch.
3D Touch Velocity/3D Touch Pressure
These menu items provide an editable "Curve" for configuring 3D Touch behavior for velocity and pressure. 3D touch velocity is passed to MIDI as Note On velocity. 3D touch pressure is passed to MIDI as Channel Pressure (Mono Aftertouch, NOT poly Aftertouch).
Enable/Disable Key Y Touch [PRO][Studio][Control]
For devices that don't support 3D touch, velocity can be set with the Key Y position. Typically the bottom of the key is low velocity and the top is high velocity. This behavior can be modified with the Key Y Velocity Curve.
Key Y Velocity
This menu item provides an editable "Curve" for configuring Key Y Touch behavior for velocity. Key Y velocity is passed to MIDI as Note On velocity.
Air Turn [PRO][Studio][Control]
Configure support for an Air Turn page turning pedal. The Air Turn Pedal can be used to step forward and backward through presets in the current setlist.
Ambisonics
Experimental support for the expression pad to send MIDI controls for an Ambisonic Plugin.
Reset Warnings [PRO][Studio][Control]
Reset all "Don't ask me again" warnings.
